Bible Study Verse
Ecclesiastes 4:9
Two are better than
one because
they have a good return for their labor.
(NASB)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thoughts
My son and I were sitting in our stand just
before dark
when we heard the shot ring out from a
friend hunting
nearby. I said, "Let's get going; she'll need
help
loading up her kill."
We got there just
as
she was
reaching her four-wheeler and went to help
her load
up. She had shot a nice feral hog. Once
loaded, we
went back to our vehicle and followed her
into camp.
On the drive, my son said, "Do you know
why she
got that hog?"
Having seen nothing
to
shoot for
days, my
thoughts ran to, "It was the only thing that
stepped out
under her feeder."
But before I could
make the flippant
answer, my seven-year-old son quickly
replied to his
own question, "Because God blessed
her."
That hit
me hard. I was flooded with
embarrassment over the
shallowness of my own thoughts and pride
over my
young son's insight. (MEQ)
Action Point
Ah, the wisdom of the child.
As His
disciples were trying to shoo away the
children in Luke 18:15-17, Jesus
said that the kingdom of God belongs to
such as they--trusting, innocent, believing,
dependent.
Dependent: dependent
upon parents to provide food and shelter;
dependent upon parents to provide
guidance; dependent upon our
Heavenly Father to
provide our
daily bread.
Are we dependent
daily upon our
Heavenly Father or our own self-
sufficiency? Are we
providing spiritual guidance for our
children? When our children provide
spiritual insight
to us, do we listen and
take heed?

Sportsmen's Tip of the
Day
Always be ready for an opportunity to help
another
hunter load and butcher their game. You
may learn a
tip from their methods, or teach them one
of yours.
Someday, you may be in need of that extra
hand
yourself.
